Yeah, as a matter of fact I did just see 12 Monkeys for the very first time. Yeah, I’m pretty upset. For 13 years, I’ve been under the impression that 12 Monkeys was Brad Pitt portraying a patient in a psychiatric hospital. I knew Bruce Willis was in it, but for some reason had the idea that he was just a supporting character, a fellow patient. Yeah, dumb=me. People, he is The Star. The Man Who Saves The World. Why did no one explain this to me? My family and friends know that I would pretty much watch a colonic irrigation if it involved Bruce Willis. Multiple close-ups of his muscular buttocks would just be cream on the panties cupcake. And that list up there covers every damn one of my favorite movie elements. Well, except a xenomorph. Oh, and ZOMBIES.
Thirteen years I could have been enjoying this mind-blowing film. Damn. I suck.
